20240124 - KiCAD course at PRG

It is going to be divided in 3 blocks:

  • Schematics: How libraries work. Show a small example of a project. Talk about where to get the symbols and documentation of components (Mouser or Ultralibrarian).
  • PCB Design: Show some good practices, some examples. Would be nice to give some advices about noise.
  • Manufacturing process: Show how to manufacture with oven, how to use stencils. And lastly a visual inspection with the microscope.

The course is going to be focused on designing a Hello board. It should have different variations for different complexities.

  • 1st is a basic badge with 2 LEDS, one Lipo battery, LDO
  • 2nd Lipo Battery, a ESP32S3 with a external programmer, a I2C screen and a DHT11 sensor

The materials I need to prepare:

  • A library with:
    • LDO
    • Battery with JST
    • LED (THRU and SMD)
    • ESP32S3
    • ESP-Prog header
    • i2c screen
    • DHT sensor

Okey, the course is gonna take more time than expected becuase kicad is a bit trashy and I need to learn it.
